Macro Functions Execute recorded macros through assigned buttons.
Tip: Side buttons are commonly used for frequently accessed commands in games, browsers, and productivity applications.

3.3 DPI Settings

DPI determines how sensitive the mouse movement feels. A higher DPI moves the cursor faster, while a lower DPI provides more precise control.

Adjusting DPI

  1. Open MCHOSE HUB.
  2. Navigate to the DPI Setting page.
  3. Select the DPI level you want to adjust.
  4. Enter your preferred DPI value.
  5. Save the settings.

DPI Stages

The A5 V3 supports multiple DPI levels that can be switched using the DPI button.

  • Each DPI stage can be customized individually.
  • Unused DPI stages can be disabled.
  • The DPI button can be reassigned through MCHOSE HUB.
Note: DPI settings affect cursor sensitivity only. They do not change the mouse polling rate or sensor performance.

X/Y DPI Adjustment

Advanced users can separately adjust horizontal and vertical sensitivity.

  • X-axis DPI controls horizontal movement.
  • Y-axis DPI controls vertical movement.
Tip: For most users, keeping X-axis and Y-axis DPI values the same provides the most natural tracking experience.

3.4 Macro Settings

Macro settings allow you to record multiple keyboard or mouse actions and assign them to a single button.

Important: Some games and applications may restrict the use of macros. Please ensure your macro usage follows the rules of the software or game.

Creating a Macro

   3. Select loop mode


 

4. To start recording, press the corresponding button combination to complete the recording and save.

5. Simply drag and drop the recorded macro configuration to the corresponding key.

6. To modify the macro interval, simply click the delay time after recording ends.
  • Macro import and export are suitable for local saving of macro functions to prevent loss.



 

 

Macro Playback Options

Mode Description
Play Once The macro runs one time when the button is pressed.
Repeat While Holding The macro repeats while the assigned button is held.

Office Work Medium DPI, productivity shortcuts
Creative Applications Custom shortcuts and precise cursor control
Tip: Creating separate profiles allows you to quickly switch between gaming, work, and daily-use configurations.

4. Performance Settings

The A5 V3 provides advanced performance adjustment options through MCHOSE HUB. These settings allow users to optimize tracking accuracy, click response, and overall mouse performance according to different gaming and usage scenarios.

4.1 Polling Rate

Polling Rate refers to how frequently the mouse reports its position and button status to the computer. A higher polling rate can reduce input delay and provide smoother cursor movement, but it also increases power consumption and CPU usage.

Polling Rate Recommended Usage
125Hz Basic office use and low-power scenarios
500Hz Daily use and balanced performance
1000Hz Gaming and general high-performance use
4000Hz / 8000Hz* Competitive gaming (supported models only)
Tip: For most users, 1000Hz provides an excellent balance between responsiveness, system compatibility, and battery life.
Important: Very high polling rates may increase CPU usage. If you experience FPS drops or unstable performance, try reducing the polling rate.

4.2 Debounce Time

Debounce Time controls the delay used to prevent accidental repeated inputs caused by mechanical switch vibration.

  • Lower debounce time: Faster click response.
  • Higher debounce time: Improved click stability and reduced accidental double-clicks.

Recommended Settings

Usage Scenario Recommended Setting
Competitive Gaming Lower debounce time
Daily Use Medium debounce time
Maximum Click Stability Higher debounce time
Note: The optimal debounce setting depends on your preferred balance between speed and click stability.

4.3 Motion Sync

Motion Sync synchronizes sensor data output with the USB polling timing, helping provide more consistent cursor tracking.

When to Enable Motion Sync

  • Smoother cursor movement.
  • More consistent tracking performance.
  • Improved movement stability during normal use.

When to Disable Motion Sync

  • Competitive gaming requiring the lowest possible latency.
  • Users who prioritize maximum sensor responsiveness.
Note: Motion Sync may introduce a small amount of additional latency. The difference is usually minimal and depends on the specific configuration.

4.4 Ripple Control

Ripple Control helps reduce small cursor movements caused by sensor noise when using very high DPI settings.

This feature improves cursor stability by applying additional smoothing to sensor data.

Recommended Usage

  • Enable when using very high DPI settings.
  • Useful for precise desktop operations.
  • May improve cursor stability on some surfaces.
Note: For competitive gaming, some users may prefer disabling additional smoothing features to maintain the most direct sensor response.

4.5 Angle Snapping

Angle Snapping, also known as straight-line correction, adjusts cursor movement to make horizontal and vertical movements appear straighter.

Suitable For

  • Office applications.
  • Drawing assistance.
  • General productivity tasks.

Not Recommended For

  • Competitive FPS gaming.
  • Games requiring precise raw sensor input.
  • Users who prefer natural hand movement tracking.
Important: For competitive gaming, we recommend disabling Angle Snapping to maintain original sensor behavior.

4.6 Lift-off Distance (LOD)

Lift-off Distance (LOD) refers to the height at which the sensor stops tracking when the mouse is lifted from the surface.

Adjusting LOD can help optimize tracking behavior, especially for users who frequently reposition the mouse during gameplay.

LOD Setting Recommended Usage
Low LOD Competitive gaming and reduced cursor movement while lifting the mouse
High LOD Better compatibility with different mouse pad surfaces
Tip: Players who frequently lift and reposition their mouse usually prefer a lower LOD setting.

4.7 Performance Mode

Performance Mode allows users to balance tracking performance, response speed, and battery consumption.

Mode Description
Balanced Mode Provides a balance between performance and battery efficiency.
Performance Mode Prioritizes responsiveness and tracking performance.
Competitive Mode Optimized for high-performance gaming scenarios.

Recommended Settings:

  • Daily Use: Balanced Mode + 500Hz–1000Hz polling rate.
  • Gaming: Performance Mode + 1000Hz or higher polling rate.
  • Competitive Gaming: Competitive Mode with optimized system performance.
